The Student Code of Conduct disciplinary procedures will be used in all cases of alleged student misconduct referred to the Vice President of Student Success. The social discipline system is established in accordance with the concept of due process. Due process, as used herein, consists of two parts. The first is that a student will know in advance what conduct is unacceptable and the consequences of such conduct. It requires rules and regulations of student behavior that are reasonable, clear and precise, clearly communicated, and fairly and consistently administered. The second part of due process means that a student will be given a statement of the charges against him/her and a fair opportunity to be heard and to present evidence before a decision is rendered.

Room Keys –A lock key replacement charge for a lost key is $50 and will be charged to the student’s account. The key must be paid for prior to a new key being issued to the student. Failure to turn in a key at the time of checkout will result in a lost key replacement fee of $50. 

Duplication of Keys: At no point should an issued key be duplicated. Duplicated keys without authorization will require the student/staff to pay for the entire re-coring and keys of the space.

Lockouts: A resident that is locked out three (3) or more times in a seven (7) day period will be assessed an excessive lockout fee of $50 and issued a new key if their key has been lost.

Students are not to admit unauthorized or uninvited persons into the residence halls at any time.

A student who enters or leaves the residence hall is responsible for securing their door. Propping or otherwise preventing any door from being completely secure is a serious safety violation. A resident should never give his/her key or keycard to another student to enter the building, use another student's meal plan, or enter a room.

Building Key Cards: Students will be required to have a Student ID card at all times to gain access to both his/her meal plan and residence hall. This card acts as identification, an activity card, building access, room access, and in some cases the meal plan card. Students may acquire his/her ID card through the Registrar’s Office located in the Greenwood Student Center. A student's ID card will need to be activated to work for the building the student has been assigned to live in as well as their meal plan (if they have one).

Key cards should only be used by the individual to whom the card is issued. Duplication of cards other than by the Office of Residence Life and Registrar’s Office is prohibited. Key card access will be renewed on a semester by semester basis.

Key cards that are stolen, lost, or damaged may be replaced at the Registrar’s Office upon payment of the replacement card cost to the Cashier’s Office. If a card is lost or stolen, the Student should notify the Office of Residence Life so that card access may be terminated for security purposes.

Any students that receive a temporary keycard and fail to return the keycard to the Office of Residence Life will be charged a $10 replacement keycard cost to his/her student account.

Laundry equipment is paid for through an inclusive fee in the student’s housing charges and is solely intended for the residents of each building. Use of laundry equipment by unauthorized guests an non-residents will be considered theft of service. Students should never leave laundry unattended and machines should never be overfilled as that can burn up the motor of the machine. Damage/theft of laundry is the sole responsibility of the student operating the laundry equipment.

Campus Services handles the maintenance of the residence halls. For maintenance repairs that are not caused by the student, please use the online maintenance request form. Students can submit this form online at o2q.big5vn.com/housing/maintenance.html . The student will need to explain in detail what needs to be repaired, the location and the student’s contract information. A Campus Services staff member will be sent to the student’s apartment, room to assist with the maintenance issue. Maintenance requests are monitored regularly and are handled on a priority basis. If maintenance that has been requested has not been completed after 7 days, students should contact the Office of Residence Life.

Every student who resides in on-campus housing shall have the option to identify a confidential individual, emergency contact, to be contacted within 24 hours of the determination that the student is missing in accordance with the procedures outlined below. In the event the resident does not provide a "confidential" contact and/or until the information is received, the College will use the emergency contact provided in the Residence Life application. Only authorized campus officials and law enforcement officers in furtherance of a missing person investigation may have access to this information.

Reason for Policy 

In accordance with  Section 485 of the Higher Education Act (HEA), every institution of higher education that provides on-campus housing must provide a missing student notification policy for those students residing in on-campus housing. 

How to Report a Missing Student 

The organization or persons to which individuals should report a student as missing includes: Resident Directors, Resident Assistants, Office of Residence Life, Student Life Office,  Public Safety Office ,  Counseling and Wellness Center and the Office of Student Success.

Confidential Contact

In the application a confidential contact form is available for residents to complete. Students should return the completed form to the Office of Residence Life within the first week of arrival. A file will be kept in the office until the beginning of the next academic year when the forms will be shredded. Students can change the information on their form at any time by visiting the Office of Residence Life, or print the form and return it at your leisure. The new form will be placed in the file, and the old form will be destroyed.

Procedure for Determining if a Student is Missing 

If a student is reported missing to a Residence Life staff member, the staff member should be sure to obtain the reporting person’s name, relationship to the resident, and contact information where the reporting person can be reliably reached. The staff member should obtain local directory information about the missing student and immediately notify a Resident Assistant/Director and/or the Office of Residence Life. Residence Life staff will refer to the Reported Missing Student Checklist and contact the reporting person to obtain the additional information needed. If a credible threat to the well-being of the student reported as missing is verified Snow College Public Safety will be called for assistance and a full report submitted to supervisory staff. The Resident Assistants, under the direction of the Resident Director, should then proceed to contact known student friends/relationships, beginning with roommates. The Resident Assistant should also use direct and indirect methods of leaving messages for the student to make contact immediately. The purpose at this point is to determine if the student is truly missing or has simply failed to make the desired contact with the reporting person. If the student is located or is determined not to be missing, the student should be advised to contact the reporting person. The Resident Director may also contact the reporting person and relay that the student is not missing and has been asked to contact the reporting person.
If pursuing known contacts has not yielded confirmation that the student is not missing, the Office of Residence Life may invoke one or more of the following measures may to determine recent activity by the student reported as missing:

• Building card access report
• Meal plan utilization
• Mailbox activity
• Class attendance
• In-plain-sight examination of room to see signs of recent use or planned departure

If the results of these activity measures suggest that the student is indeed missing and unaccounted for, the Office of Residence Life will immediately notify Public Safety Officers and request a full law enforcement investigation. All information obtained about the missing student through the Office of Residence Life investigation should be shared with Public Safety and/or law enforcement representatives. The Chief of Public Safety is responsible for notification of the missing student’s identified confidential contact if the student has been missing for 24 hours. If the student is under 18 years of age and not an emancipated individual (by court order, no longer under the control or responsibility of parents), the custodial parent or guardian shall be contacted immediately.

Procedure for Notification of Missing Student 

If Public Safety Officers determine that a student for whom a missing person report has been filed has been missing for 24 hours, then within the next 24 hours, they must:

• Notify the individual identified by the student to be contacted in this circumstance,
• If the student is under 18 years old, notify a custodial parent/guardian and any other designated contact person, and
• Notify law enforcement networks

The above procedures do not preclude College officials from making a determination that a student is missing before the student has been missing for a full 24 hours or initiating notification procedures as soon as it determines that the student is missing.

Noise that is sustained must not be audible to other students living within the residence hall rooms, hallways, lounges, or public areas in which may cause disturbance.

A “service animal” is an animal individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. These tasks include but not limited to: guiding individuals with impaired vision; alerting individuals who are hearing impaired to intruders or sound; providing minimal protection or rescue work; pulling a wheelchair; or fetching dropped items.

A “therapy/emotional support animal” is an animal selected to play an integral part of a person’s treatment process that demonstrates a good temperament and reliable, predictable behavior. A therapy/emotional support animal is prescribed to an individual with a disability by a health care or mental health professional. A therapy/emotional support animal does not assist a person with a disability with activities of daily living, nor does it accompany a person with a disability at all times. However, a therapy/emotionally support animal may be incorporated into a treatment process to assist in alleviating the symptoms of that individual’s disability. This treatment occurs within the person’s residence and therefore may be considered for access to college housing.

Service Animals in Training: Individuals who desire an accommodation for a service animal in training must demonstrate that there is a proper training plan designed to work for the benefit of an individual with a disability. They must also abide by all relevant provisions of this policy. An animal being trained to be a service animal has all the same rights as a fully trained animal when accompanied by a trainer and identified as such.

All service and therapy/emotional support animals must be approved through the ADA Coordinator’s Office prior to arrival onto Snow College’s campus. The animal must have all vaccinations, licensing and training prior to acceptance. A service and therapy/emotional support animal may be removed from Snow College facilities including Residence Life if the animal demonstrates disruptive behavior, poor health or uncleanliness. Owners of service or therapy/emotional support animals are solely responsible for any damages to persons or property caused by their animal.
